Haven't gotten any work done on the house the last two days, but I have been Suzie homemaker. The pirate and I picked about 10 pounds of blackberries yesterday, froze 6, and we're eating our way through the last 4. Just went out and got maybe 8 more pounds, so I'll make fruit leather. We'll get more tomorrow for coffee cake and jam.

Also, um ...acquired... a bunch of yellow plums from the neighbour's tree which I'm going to cut in half and put on the roof to try to dry.

YUMMMMMMMM!

Roof a la Plum ! My fav! :D

How long does it take to dry a plum on the roof? How do you keep the birds and squirrels out of 'em? Does your neighbor ever check your roof for missing plums? . . . Inquiring minds want to know.

So there is this grouchy neighbour that doesn't want anyone near his house, but his yard is full of fruit trees. He never ever picks the fruit, and it all just falls to the ground and rots. Two days ago my other neighbour was out with her daughter filling a bowl with plums. I whispered to the daughter "where's the best spot". She motioned me over to one side of the tree and said "He's not home right now anyway". So I filled my shirt with plums and took them home. The pirate and I stuffed ourselves with plums, and I figured I would put plums to better use than the ants, so I went out this morning, early, and filled a shopping bag. If he leaves again I'll get a bunch more.

He's got that huge plum tree, a bosc pear tree (with tiny little pears), 3 or 4 apple trees, and a giant kiwi (tree?, bush? vine?). And that's just on the one side that I can see from the street.

So I plan to do several more morning excursions.

With a ladder.

Google tells me it takes about 'an afternoon' to dry a plum. I'm guessing longer because these are pretty juicy. I cut them in half, took out the pit, dipped 'em in lemon juice, and put them cut side up in a roasting pan and a cake pan. Then I clothespinned cheese cloth to the edges of the pan to keep the bugs out. I'm thinking they'll be safe from the squirrels, because the squirrelyqueues aren't used to finding snacks on the roof. Guess I'll find out.

We are in Oklahoma City tonight. Heading to Kansas City tomorrow where we plan to meet with kareng. Next stop is Saturday afternoon in St. Louis where we will meet up with one of J's cyberfriends. They met once before.

Indianapolis is not out of our way heading home. I know Lisa (curlyfires) needs a big hug. Janet, are you in?

LOVED the politician sign!!!!

Rhode Island is totally out of the way but if any of you are ever heading this way you are welcome to loads of hospitality.When Tony's away (almost all of the time) you have your own queen size bed and private bathroom. Plus it's gluten-free.

Love,

Loey

P.S.Anyone ever go to a naturopath? If so, what's your take? She also practices chinese and cherokee medicine, acupuncture and many other modalities. My new pain doctor referred me to one. He's giving me heavy duty meds (Oxycontin 20). Guess I'll be stocking up on Miralax.I'm sure it's not covered by my medical plan. I'll be starting Medicare in the middle of September - Superman is out of severance and medical at that point. He's concentrating on the stock market and thank God doing well (learned an expensive lesson with margin years ago). If he had pulled out a month sooner we would have been millionaires. I just think we're meant to be plain old folk.Right now we just want to be able to get Tony through his last two years at Brown and , if possible, pay off the house.

Put most of your energy into finding a good one. Ask people, ask about their schooling, ask ask ask. I'd personally be leery of someone who has so many "skills".

Well I finally understand why my girlfriend JF and her father go to as many Springsteen concerts as they can. He was amazing. Played for 3 and a half hours straight. I was disappointed that his wife wasn't there (she was on her own tour). The weather had improved although it was 60 degrees and by the end of the concert I was an ice cube (and I wore a jacket over my T-shirt).

I think I'm becoming an old fogey - all the drunk people that were whistling and cat calling (as well as standing in the aisles and blocking the monitors- the only way to see it in the nose-bleed section) really got on my nerves by the end of the concert. The absolute best part of the concert was that Tony was the one who bought the three of us tickets (he didn't go for the cheapest but that wouldn't have mattered). I expected to be in a lot more pain today from all of the uphill walking and stair climbing but my back only hurts a little. Took a percocet to take the edge off so that's probably helping as well. Anyway there were scantily dressed girls all over and that does not appeal to Tony.He really wants a woman of substance (although he and hs friend Annie were discussing "hot chick" in the Public Defender's Office). Whoever he winds up with will be lucky. He's a kind and generous friend so I can only imagine how he'd treat a girlfriend. We didn't get home until 2:30 AM and fell right asleep. I slept later than Rob but was still up by 10 AM. I usually wake up by 7.

I hope you all had a wonderful Saturday night, as well.

Love &amp; Hugs, wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

P.S. thanks for the info and tips on the naturopath

Bet it was a great show, Lo.

Just remembered the Big Man is gone. Bruce has someone else playing tenor sax tho, right?

Re Naturopaths, I saw one for a while. She was helpful on some things, mostly because I was too new to know much about complications. But there was always something else dissatisfying going on. Like claiming she'd said to also be tomato-free when I was recalling the instructions w/ tomatoes being fine & feeling like I wasted that month & whythehellwasntthiswrittendown ....

Didn't like that she wanted to call villi "cilia", or maybe "celia" in her mind. Isn't cilia a word that comes up when microscoping creek water for single-cell organisms, paramecium-breath?

Hmmm maybe the main good thing about her was just that she believed my judgement/evidence that gluten & other things were real problems. Before that, 2 celiac-recommended MDs wouldn't say more than I was "50-50 for celiac"! :angry:

(I'd been dx'd by an MD 30+ yrs before, but no records remained)

I suppose I see NDs as hit-or-miss now.

Wow....them's fightin' woids... . ....

This reminds me of a funny bit that my dad used to do on the first TV show he was in... ....there was a recurring sketch that involved him as a news announcer, and he would report on various incidents of national interest. Invariably, something was always happening in one particular, remote prairie town. The news flash would always be something like this: "Bizarre, flash flooding due to hurricane-level rain has occurred in Bear's Breath, Manitoba over the weekend".... :rolleyes::lol:

Apparently 'an afternoon' in the Northwest means all three of our days over 70, plus some finishing time in a warm oven. The blackberry fruit leather turned out great, with just a few bugs stuck in the goo.

Fruit leather with protein! You could sell it as an after exercise snack!

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
